History

Established in 1994.

The Essential Baking Company was founded in 1994 by George DePasquale and the late Jeff Fairhall. Jeff founded Essential Foods, a startup company that made and sold wrap sandwiches. George came to Seattle from San Francisco to pursue his passions of baking and playing bass guitar. Luckily, George and Jeff’s paths crossed and they started a business selling George’s signature breads at the Fremont Farmers Market.

A dozen years later we joined with Parisian Star Desserts, founded by French native Pierre Fauvet. Pierre brought decades of experience making exquisite desserts that look as good as they taste.
